Maseru

Founded in 1869 by the British, Lesotho's main city--Maseru--lies on the border with South Africa on a plateau surrounded by red hills.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Lesotho Co-operative Handicrafts and Gates of Paradise Pass. Take a break from the city and head to Maletsunyane Falls and Maluti Mountains. Venture out of the city with trips to Teyateyaneng (Ha Kome Cave Houses & Setsoto Design Gallery), Mafika Lisiu Pass (in Pitseng) and Morija Museum & Archives (in Morija). There's much more to do: steep yourself in history at Thaba-Bosiu National Monument, get engrossed in the history at National Museum, admire the engineering at Mohale Dam, and pause for some serene contemplation at Our Lady of Victory Cathedral.
